For years Trent Alexander-Arnold has been the highest priced defender in FPL, but with the right-back off to Madrid what should that mean for the pricing of defenders in FPL? Suj and James deliberate who might come in as the most expensive and who that should be, discussing options from the expected top 3 of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.

After the European football public had caught their breath following the first semi final, most assumed that the finale itself had the potential to be the best of all. Denmark were strong favourites to beat Spain - who were extremely fortunate to still be active in the competition - and set up a beautiful footballing conclusion to an enjoyable tournament. However, many Spanish players believed that luck was with them. Something that can take teams a long way in these things... Rob is with Martyn this week to explain Denmark's sudden rise to prominence, why so many neutrals took them to heart and how Spain broke those hearts in the end. 'Danish Dynamite', which Rob co-wrote with Mike Gibbons and Lars Eriksen is still available in the usual places.
